Aquarium Light question!

+1 for fishneedit

or wait for a used fixture to come up for sale (check the classifieds here or kijiji locally)

your local lfs may have some trade ins especially with LEDs taking off.

I would recommend you only consider LED. More expensive but you do not have to replace the lights for 5 years instead of the 9 to 12 months with other lighting.

Look at www.fish-street.com

If hes looking on Ebay I dont think he will find to many LED setups worth his time, I took a quick look and most of the LED fixtures on there are MarineLand Double Bright fixtures which seem more for FW than reef setups...

Ha ha! I came across that link with my spider search when someone mispelt tank and spelt tang.

Ended up spending a few hours there and bought two Key LED lighting systems. I am really happy with them.

Seems like everything on their site that uses electricity is set to use 220 v power. Is your light?

Would two 24" fixture work? You could try these Odyssea 24" 96w fixtures from AquaTraders at about $65 each.

Here is a canreef thread talking about the Odyssea lighting: Cheap lighting HQI... to good to be true?

There is a 48" T5 fixture for sale in the buy/sell area:
